Hi Tim --
Too lazy to reboot the Compaq into Mandrake 9.2, I'm trying this in Windows.
I downloaded the code to a Python 2.4 subdirectory (site-packages) and
inserted a few carriage returns for readability (didn't help much -- these
little lambda people might be happier in Scheme).
Then I opened a cmd window and went to said subdirectory and entered:
---
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Kirby>d:
D:\>cd python24
D:\Python24>cd Lib
D:\Python24\Lib>cd site-packages
D:\Python24\Lib\site-packages>python tinyp2p.py shazam server ktu2 6789
---
So far so good.
Then I opened a second command window went to my c:\temp subdirectory and
entered:
---
Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Kirby>cd temp
The system cannot find the path specified.
C:\Documents and Settings\Kirby>cd\
C:\>cd temp
C:\temp>d:\python24\python d:\python24\Lib\site-packages\tinyp2p.py shazam
client http://ktu2.6789 *
And what I got back was:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "d:\python24\Lib\site-packages\tinyp2p.py", line 26, in ?

Am I going to now try to debug this giant mess just so I can prove Python is
able to do peer to peer (which I already knew)? No.
Do I think someone else might get this to work on Win XP? Definitely.
Do I think Win XP is part of the problem somehow? I really have no idea.
BUT WAIT! Now that I'm eyeballing all of the above, I see that I have some
silly dot instead of a colon after the ktu2 in the URL. Let's try that
again:
---

client http://ktu2:6789 *

OK, well, definite progress anyway. This is a completely different error.
I just had my URL borked in the top example. Maybe I just don't know what a
pattern should look like. I tried * for "everything," then I tried "py".
But look, even though both tries got me tracebacks, the server is now
registering that it's getting hits:
---
[beneath the earlier server command line]
KTU2 - - [17/Dec/2004 09:02:34] "POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0" 200 -
KTU2 - - [17/Dec/2004 09:03:05] "POST /RPC2 HTTP/1.0" 200 -
---
I feel a lot closer to having it work. On the other hand, I have no more
incentive to try *making* it work. Off to other things. Kinda fun though.
